I’m an international student in the US and have always used my legal name, but it’s a bit harder for people here to pronounce. I’m considering using a shorter preferred name for my upcoming internship.
I’m a bit worried about two things:
Could using a preferred name cause issues with tracking my records across employers, background checks, or anything administrative long-term?
What happens if I end up not liking the preferred name after using it for a summer internship, is it awkward or problematic to switch back?
I would still use my legal name on all official documents. router login 192.168.l.l.link/
Would appreciate hearing from people who’ve done this or seen it in professional settings.
